Errors and Logging

hgclient will output a record of all transactions along with errors and diagnostic messages.  When run from the command line, this text is normally sent to stderr.  You may redirect this to a file using the command shell.  You can also tell hgclient to append to a file specified by the "-l" option or the the LogFile configuration variable.  hgclient will not launch if it is unable to append to the given log file.

If hgclient is run as root in unix it will default to writing diagnostic output to the file /var/log/hgclient.log or /var/adm/hgclient.log.

If hgclient is run as a Windows Startup item, it will default to writing diagnostics to the user's application data directory, which is usually:

C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\DEI\hgclient.log

If you experience difficulties with a HyperGate application, the hgclient logs will provide important information about what happened.  Please include a copy of the relevant log lines with any Technical Support Request.
